A heavy display serif built from crisp, geometric forms and deliberate breaks that create strong stencil bridges throughout the alphabet. The letterforms use broad verticals, sharp triangular notches, and wedge-like terminals that produce a faceted, cut-paper silhouette. Counters are often partially opened by the breaks, giving rounded shapes (like C, O, S, and 8) a segmented, sculpted feel. Spacing and proportions feel intentionally varied across glyphs, contributing to a lively, attention-grabbing rhythm in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited for posters, headlines, titles, and brand marks where the broken strokes can read clearly and add character. It can work well on packaging and event or entertainment collateral, especially where a bold, crafted stencil look is desired. For longer passages, larger sizes and generous tracking will help preserve clarity around the internal cuts.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, with an industrial, stenciled attitude that reads as assertive and crafted rather than neutral. Its sharp cut-ins and high-impact silhouettes suggest poster-era drama, fashion/editorial punch, and a slightly retro, Art-Deco-adjacent flair without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to merge a classic serif foundation with a graphic stencil construction, using angular bridges and carved-out shapes to create a distinctive, high-impact voice. The goal seems to be instant recognition and strong texture in short bursts of text, emphasizing silhouette and rhythm over neutral readability.
The stencil breaks are not purely mechanical; many are angled or triangular, functioning as graphic accents that become part of the design language. At text sizes, the cuts can create strong internal patterns and dark/bright flicker, making the face feel more suited to display settings than continuous reading.
